The use of methyl alcohol (methanol) as an igniting fluid is very dangerous. Nineteen patients (17 males and 2 females), burned while using this fluid for lighting barbecues or filling lamps and stoves, have recently been treated at the Burn Unit at the Karolinska Hospital. A mean of 23% body surface was involved and many of the burns were deep dermal or full thickness. Ninety percent of the patients had facial burns. Hospital stay averaged 23 days with 2.2 operations. It seems that previous alarms ( Nordstr öm & Nyl én, 1975) remain unheeded by both manufacturers and consumers. The public must be warned about the dangers associated with the use of methanol. Briquettes as solid fuel for barbecues and safer ignition fluids ought to be popularized .
使用甲醇作为点火液体非常危险。最近，卡罗林斯卡医院烧伤科治疗了19名患者（17名男性和2名女性），他们在使用这种液体点燃烧烤炉、填充灯具或炉灶时被烧伤。平均体表面积烧伤率为23%，许多烧伤为深二度或三度。90%的患者面部烧伤。患者平均住院23天，接受2.2次手术。看来之前的警告（诺德斯特伦和尼伦，1975年）仍未得到制造商和消费者的重视。必须向公众警告与使用甲醇相关的危险。应推广使用型煤作为烧烤的固体燃料以及更安全的点火液体。
